Project Feature

The new glass building was built above the trapezoidal shaped historical Warehouse A erected in 1966. The heart of the Elbphilharmonie are the concert halls, the entire building front facing HafenCity will accommodate the hotel, residential flats area on the opposite site. The main façade is carried out as a double grid unitized façade. The 1,100 units up to 5 m high are partly inwardly and outwardly curved and provided with a specially coated screen print. Oval vertically pivoted windows enable natural ventilation, light and weather conditions create constantly changing images on the outer skin. The curved glass as well as the special prints and coatings give each glass pane its uniqueness. The void façades on the inside of the building form open light wells towards the roof.
